I use my ipad in portrait mode for reading pdfs and because it's easier to hold; I don't think that changing the aspect ratio would make much of a difference for either of those tasks, but it would make typing in landscape mode mu

The downside addressed by the parent is that an article dated "2012" will be discounted by many potential readers, even if all of the information is still current. For something where specific versions or dates matter, nothing abo

I think that it's implicit that you're supposed to keep the articles up to date.

I'll make the obligatory "I hope that Julia will replace Matlab in this role soon" statement. But I also hope that infix matrix operations will make Python 3.5 more competitive in this situation too.

It's not javascript, but my daughter loves Logo. She's a little younger than 10, so it's still off and on and a lot of parental involvement.

I was about to disagree with this criticism of C, since I loved it as the introductory language in college. But then I remembered that Basic was my first programming language, and Pascal was the first language I was actually taught, and I&#

Just to be a dick: yes, drafting pencils that are deliberately shaped to not roll off tables are nice, and probably not the absolute first version produced.

GSIs don't really compare here. >Again, this isn't helpful when it comes to actually learning the course material. If you want to do research, this is great. But I'm talking exclusively about the undergraduate educational

I always find it educational to meet someone who lacks all of the characteristics I think are crucial for success, but is still successful. In that vein.... I probably attended fewer than 15% of all of my lectures, for every class in underg

That's too bad. Two of the best classes I've taken in my life were at Berkeley -- econ 141 (econometrics, about 80 students) and math 195 ( undergraduate stochastic differential equations, about 5-10 students, 3 I think taking fo

That's not usually the way textbooks work --- they often try to support many instructors who each want to cover more or less the same core plus some nonoverlapping material that the instructor wants to teach. When you add up all of t

by grayclhn 12y ago
That's almost always what the teacher considers the most important material. So, yeah, attending lectures lets you know what concepts are especially important in the subject.

Re: the heated arguments, exactly the reason for my parenthetical comment earlier :). Thanks for the pointer.

It prevents the "original" author from making those versions unless he or she requests a transfer of copyright for any outside code. If you have evidence of the second claim, I'd love to see it or see a link. (I mean this as

Continuing to use it as a username is going to come across to a lot of people as, at best, deeply insensitive.

That's not what "network effects" means, though. Facebook and AirBnB presumably get better when more people join; their products are better with more users than with fewer users. It's easy to see why having your entire c

I think it would be better still to give a one-sentence description of what the product does first: interview starts: “So you’re building some automation for Github?” asked Paul response: Sort of. Our product spins up new development env

That's not necessarily a bad thing. When they cut you off, respond to their question. The goal of an interview isn't usually to talk interrupted for 10 minutes.

I do, and I don't even know Haskell: (b * b) - (4 * a * c) edit: I don't know go, but I assume the go example is intentionally unreadable. But complaining about infix multiplication and subtraction is... curious.

I would be surprised if they're ranking every applicant. When I've been on hiring or admissions committees, I use a threshold. There's no point in ranking candidates clearly below the bar relative to each other, and there&#x2

I think that this move is intended to prevent a fork like that.
